Snow fell on the city wall.
The officials and ministers of Guangyang City on the city wall could be said to be the only people in the world with high cultivation.
While discussing matters, he admired Chuxue.
As he spoke, the blood and spiritual energy that was released from his agitated emotions melted the snowflakes into wisps of water vapor and evaporated upward.
It formed a strange scene of dense water vapor.
When he heard Guo Jiazhen say that he wanted the Zhen family of Wuji to offer a daughter, Liu Yu immediately kicked Guo Fengxiao, who was talking about flowers, in a bad mood.
Just the newly recruited Cai Zhaoji alone had made his back ache a little these few days. (It's not that the author didn't write it, but half of the chapter about Mrs. Gan was deleted.)
The key was that King Guangyang, who had always had a good reputation, had recently become famous in Youzhou because of his lust.
In the past few days, many people of Guangyang City had blocked the entrance of the Prince's mansion to offer their daughters in order to repay Liu Yu's kindness.
Even the nobles of Youzhou thought that they had grasped King Guangyang's weakness.
Through Liu Yu's connections, he could send the daughters of aristocratic families to serve King Guangyang. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was no shortage of widows in the aristocratic families.
It didn't matter if he remarried or not, he mainly wanted to serve King Guangyang who worked hard for the foreign tribes.
Even Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou who had become a puppet, said that he had an unmarried daughter.
Liu Yu wanted to scold Guo Fengxiao.
But on second thought.
Cai Zhaoji, who had a rather good reputation in history, had an abnormally powerful divine soul talent, which was quite effective in increasing the territory under her control.
Then how talented and helpful was Zhen Mi, who was known as the Goddess of Luo in the history books?!
One had to know that in the fantasy world, all kinds of destiny and luck existed.
The Fire Fate that the Heaven Rankings had rewarded Liu Hong had directly prevented the Great Han Empire from suffering as many disasters as it had in the past.
Of course, under the disaster of the Ten Attendants, most of the people would not be able to live through a warm winter.
As for Zhen Mi, she was as noble as history had said. She had the fate of a phoenix, so what could she do for him?!
Liu Yu rubbed his chin, feeling curious.
Thus, he did not deny Guo Jia's words.
To be honest. Women were just tools to Liu Yu.
Cai Zhaoji, who had some feelings when she was young, had an excellent talent in the divine soul, plus Zhao Yun and Wang Yue's private decision.
Liu Yu had long forgotten about it.
Zhen Mi's beauty as the Goddess of Luo was not as attractive as her life as the Empress.
Shaking his head, Liu Yu suppressed the hope that rose in his heart.
He stretched out his hand and wrote a few words on the cement wall.
Liu County, Lu County, Zu County, Kou County.
Liu Yu muttered,
"Zhuo County's Liu, Fanyang's Lu, Fanyang's Zu, Shanggu's Kou.”
"These aristocratic families are really incapable of doing anything.”
"I used Liu Yu as a figurehead to control Youzhou and destroyed the Wuhuan.”
"They still have the guts to discuss with me about the appointment of county officials?!”
At this time, Youzhou governed eleven prefectures and ninety counties and marquises.
Not to mention the Gongsun family that occupied the four prefectures of Liaodong, Liu Yu had become a powerful duke in Yan after he was ousted.
However, other than the four prefectures that Liu Yu had managed well in the past few years, Guangyang Prefecture, Yuyang Prefecture, Youbei Prefecture, and Liaoxi Prefecture.
It could be considered as a territory under his jurisdiction.
Dai County, Zhuo County, and Shanggu County were still under the control of the aristocratic families.
Even though Liu Yu had already arranged for a new county governor, the county and township still followed him in secret and opposed him in secret.
He frequently caused trouble for the administrative affairs arranged by Guangyang City.
There were even cases where rangers were dissatisfied with the " tyranny " of the officials and attacked in anger.
After this incident, Liu Yu had a deeper understanding of the ancient imperial power.
A Zhen family from Hebei Wuji was despised for marrying a daughter.
Many aristocratic families in Hebei and Youzhou attacked and killed officials.
These two aristocratic family matters were the reason why Guangyang's monarch and minister's snow appreciation was changed to a meeting.
Liu Yu turned to look at his civil and military officials: "Do you really think that my sword isn't sharp enough to kill them all like the Wei family of the east of the river?!”
The killing intent in his words was even colder than the cold winter wind.
Previously, the commoners in the 7 prefectures in the south of Youzhou Province could have a good winter with the favorable weather as the No. 6 on the Wealth List.
It was because the aristocratic families were unwilling to give up their local power that Liu Yu was unable to take the three counties under his control.
He did not lack the patience to slowly grind it out and fight a tug-of-war with the aristocratic families of the three counties.
Guo Jia changed his frivolous attitude and said solemnly,
"My lord is right. The aristocratic families of the three counties think that they are members of the Hebei aristocratic families, which is why they dare to resist the administration of Guangyang City.”
Not only Guo Jia, but the other civil officials also had solemn expressions.
Hebei aristocratic family, these four words carried a lot of weight.
From the New Dynasty to the An Lushan Rebellion more than 500 years later, their figures had been active in every gap in history.
Back then, Liu Xiu occupied Hebei and relied on the power of the aristocratic families to annex the world.
After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, several of the aristocratic families had developed into four of the five surnames and seven families.
Zhao Jun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu.
Of course, without the Five Barbarians and the Southern Nobles, the aristocratic families of Hebei were not as powerful as the later generations and dared to despise the royal bloodline.
However, the Hebei Family was an important part of the Great Han Family.
Perhaps it was not like the Henan aristocratic families that produced the Yuan family of Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong.
They were not as famous as the Ying Chuan gentry.
However, in terms of power, only the Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang families in River East could compare.
One must know that the Jiangdong aristocrats had dared to send assassins to assassinate Sun Ce, who was known as the little tyrant.
Powerful forces could be said to be able to obtain an inch of profit from their own local power.
In the middle of winter, Guo Jia took out a paper fan and waved it gently.
"To the aristocratic families and local tyrants, the staff in charge of the minor officials of the county is an indispensable part of maintaining the interests of the family.”
"Faced with the replacement of officials from top to bottom in Guangyang City, they will naturally rise up to resist and create trouble to make the lord think that without them in charge of the local authority, the three counties will be in turmoil.”
"And if you were to be like the Wei family of the east of the river, pressing the border with an army and destroying the family, they would naturally submit. However, the aristocratic families of the world would also regard you as an enemy that surpassed the Ten Generals.”
"After all, the disaster of party prohibitions and the chaos of the Ten Attendants of the Supreme Court are only ways to hinder the promotion of aristocratic children to officials.”
"However, the lord's use of troops to exterminate the clan is a hundred times better than the ten constant attendants. I'm afraid that killing an official will also become killing Liu.”
After all, the promotion of an official was to strengthen the family's foundation. Even if they did not collude with the eunuchs, they could still gain a great reputation, just like the Xun Eight Dragons.
Once conscripted, officials with less than 2,000 stones would be embarrassed to take them out.
However, if they encountered a madman who would easily destroy his family and clan, the Great Han Family would do their best to suppress him.
For example, a ruthless person like Cao Cao would massacre a city at the drop of a hat.
Facing the aristocratic families, they only dared to kill one as an example.
After destroying Yuan Shao and annexing Hebei, they could only imprison Cui Yan of the Cui Family of Qinghe.
The Kong family, which hadn't been sanctified like Song Ming, had only killed Kong Rong.
Cao Cao, who had power in the court and bestowed upon the King of Wei, could only give Xun Yu his death in the face of the aristocratic families who secretly supported the Han Dynasty.
Even though Dong Zhuo had used force to start a chaotic world, he still had to rely on Wang Yun and Cai Yong.
The aristocratic families were the pillars of the house, and the despots were the foundation.
Other than Liu Yu, who wanted to rebuild his house, everyone could not leave the aristocratic families.
Liu Yu also understood all of this, so he had implemented the imperial examination system in Guangyang City early on in an attempt to dig out the roots of the aristocratic families.
He reached out his hand and wiped off the words representing the aristocratic families of the three counties on the battlements.
Liu Yu smiled coldly and said,
"I can't deal with the aristocratic families of Hebei Province, but how dare you, the aristocratic families of three counties, stop me from unifying the land of Yan?!”
"Since they think that they are deeply rooted, even if I don't use the army, I can still uproot the dogs and rats who only dare to do dirty deeds!”
"Filial piety."
Guo Jia cupped his fists and obeyed.
"Tell Xu Yuanzhi that in three days, all the aristocratic families of the three counties will be waiting in Zhuo County. Those who do not arrive will bear the consequences.”
Liu Yu said coldly.
His voice was sonorous and powerful, like the collision of metal and stone.
"Here."
……
At the same time, all the aristocratic families in the Great Han Dynasty were stirred up by the follow-up matters of the Wealth Rankings.
Si Li County, Luoyang.
General Manor.
Every few days, the leaders of the aristocrats and the advisors of the Great General's shogunate would gather together.
To discuss world affairs.
He Jin, who was wide and fat, was wearing a grayish-black cloak. He was like a big bear, riding in the wind and snow from outside the hall.
With the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Rankings, King Guangyang's strength exploded.
He Jin, who had always been depressed, was now beaming with joy.
After the destruction of the Wei family in the east of the river, the originally half-hearted aristocratic families were shocked by the cruelty of King Guangyang to the aristocratic families, and they all stopped their bets.
They gathered around He Jin again.
He Jin took off his cloak and sat at the head of the table. He saw many generals and civil officials in the hall.
There was no lack of heroes on the General Rankings and Wealth Rankings.
He suddenly had the ambition to be the enemy of the world.
"Everyone, how did the negotiations with the top ten families go?!”
